    Summary

    Chuck and Roger have a casual relationship, until Roger unexpectedly calls it off. Chuck becomes determined to figure out why, and how to fix it.

    " Chuck buried his face deeper into his pillow. He’d enjoyed the way they’d been because it was just for fun—it was low stakes, it was supposed to spare him from getting hurt. So why did Roger’s words ring in his head, stinging like a papercut? 'It’s not working for me anymore.'
    Why didn’t Chuck work for Roger anymore? "

    Summary

    Don glances back up and sees the shorter man being pulled up against the hip of a table mate, a tall, wiry man with curly dark hair. He leans down and whispers into the shorter man's ear with an intimacy that makes Don's spine tingle. The men's arms cross as they each rest their hands against the other's back pants pocket during the short exchange, which ends with the shorter man flashing up a smile and raised eyebrows.

    Don nearly chokes on his bite as he looked away with a twist in his stomach.

    Summary

    5 times Bobby and Don are oblivious to each other’s feelings + 1 time they’re not.

     

    Or alternatively,
    An accidental kiss opens a bottle of suppressed feelings which leaves the crew betting on when they will get their shit together.

    Summary

    Bobby blinks, pulled back to reality by the mention of Don. “Oh - no, Don likes most people. He’s just a bit stone-faced. Killer smile when you can coax it out of him, though.”

    It’s not a smile like Frank’s, broad and easy and inviting. It’s something much sweeter, something that brings an answering smile to Bobby’s lips just thinking about it - shy, private, and so brilliant it almost glows. Bobby would vote for Frank Roosevelt; he would go to the ends of the earth for Don Hume.

    Summary

    “I know I don’t have to. But you’re mine. I want to make you feel good, and if giving you a little bit of a sharper chaser to go with your pleasure makes you feel as good as all that then of course I want that for you. But I need you to be honest with me about it. I don’t wanna hurt-hurt you, darlin’.”

    Bobby wants Don to feel good, and Don wants to be good for Bobby.

    Summary

    “It’s the reason Ulbrickson put you back in the boat. You wanted it more than any other cox on the water.”

    “The wanting’s the easy part, Donny.” Bobby grinned wryly. “It’s the getting that’s tough.”

    Don didn’t think they were talking about rowing anymore.

    aka: seasons change, lineups change, coaches change, but Bobby and Don are (mostly) still the same

    "If I see one more person, I'm going to start throwing things." Bobby sighed, leaning against the wall.

    Summary

    It was simple, really. Bobby needed a date to his brothers wedding, and Don needed an excuse to say no to every insistent guy that graced Washington State.

    Chuck may have drunkenly suggested it at a party, but Bobby was never one to back down from a challenge. He just wasn't expecting to fall for Don along the way.

    OR

    The fake dating AU no one asked for

    Summary

    Bobby takes the notebook and flips it open. He immediately recoils at the contents: a looping, careful script Bobby knows as well as his own handwriting. “Johnny, this is -”

    “An invasion of privacy, I know,” Johnny says, which only serves to confirm what Bobby already knows. Johnny has stolen Don’s diary, and Bobby is holding it. “But I think he’d want you to know.”
